Peter 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Suffolk have received £15m funding for new university in Ipswich, 7,500 students.Could they recruit all these from BinnerLand, difficult to think why anyone would choose to go to Uni in Ipswich, at least UEA in 80''s offered top flight footie and still boasts a vibrant City, but Ipswich what, help me out here !

pieman01 0 Posted February 25, 2005 Yeah, but to be fair, any crappy old town can get a Uni these days, esp since all the Polys changed their ststus to Universities.With all due respect, even Milton Keynes has a bleedin'' University. I''d hardly say "The University of Ipswich" an imposing academinic feel...I mean you can''t even say it without smiling. Besides which, its a contradiction. And oxymoronic.Still, envy is a strong motivator.Cheers,pieman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A few fans that make a bit of noise wouldn''t go amiss either. Perhaps the new Buni (Binners uni) could help out there as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mariner 0 Posted February 27, 2005 We should not forget that our Suffolk cousins are not lacking in self-confidence. When the UEA started to validate degrees from Suffolk College, they promptly called it a University College and were made to withdraw it. This is the only example I know of such a thing happening. On failing to become a city on a recent occasion, someone in authority said he was disappointed and suprised! Ipswich doesn''t do modesty.I hate to think what would happen if they should change places with us Look East would be quite unbearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MadDan 0 Posted February 27, 2005 Not so much unbearable as un-listenable as I''m sure they would round up some local simpleton (they''re others ?) to read out the news in a Jamie Oliver type accent.Any shots of farms or the countryside would be banned (they don''t exist in suffolk apparently) and most of the sports section would be taken up with endless dronning on about their ''glorious history''Headlines would always be about some projected development for suffolk (that never would happen)." Ipswich to get airport "" Tower Bridge to be moved to the Orwell " His Lordship claims club will be solvent by easter "About Binglia anyone ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
